Wow, that place was packed with Forsworn, and then holy crow there’s a Hagraven. What a hectic fight, especially with summoned atronachs all over the place! That was fun to watch. Wasn’t Delphine sweet, offering to help Aravi draw some blood for the seal. How about we try a little of yours first, Delphine? Aravi is still apprehensive, I see. Finding Sky Haven Temple is so neat, and then having it open for the Dragonborn is a big moment. Esbern seems really excited, and Delphine expects something bad to happen at any moment. All four characters really came through in this video, that’s great!

What a neat battle outside the dungeon. I agree with SubRosa that it was really clever of Aravi to use that rock for cover against that mage’s spells. Oh sure! AFTER the A&K dynamic duo of feline ferocity clear the area, THEN Delphine and Eggbert Esbern show up and start offering ‘advice’. Yikes, is that now into a dragon’s den?

It always kills me when these Thalmer attack Aravi and then holler for mercy when she fights back, lol.
Esbern is a bit...confused? Lol. I saw one of those that attacked was Thalmer, but who were the others? Who are all those attacking as they leave? Urk! Great vid !!
Awesome screenshots !!!
*
Ooh, Aravi got a one-hit kill on that bandit! Nice fort with lots of great loot! Esbern better be essential, lol.
OMG, Aravi slit that one bandit's throat like an assassin! GAAAH! She did it again!
That was a long vid! Makes me want to go tackle that fort, lol.
*
Loved the music this vid started out with, reminded me of the movie "Cat People" (David Bowie score)
GAAAH! Aravi didn't take the map or read the books! I liked this vid, a lot of dialogue, but it gave us an idea of what was happening.
*
Loved the music in Helgen! It must have felt odd seeing that head-chopping place that would have been her last sight in Skyrim if that dragon hadn't saved her!
Loved the last part of this vid, a bit eerie with that wolf howling so wierdly and then the guard saying he knew you - what was all that about?
*
My fave screen was the cave - gorgeous!
*
BARBAS !!!! WOOOOOT !!!
That was one tough dragon! I wonder who Tolvar is?
*
Two is my fave of these screens, just gorgeous!
*
This was the most exciting vid of all, finding all those secret chambers and the cut scenes! Loved it!
*
Something is wrong with this next vid, it is all digitalized or something. Having trouble seeing it. Is it just my PC?

That was neat how Aravi tagged Esbern with mage light. I didn’t know you could do that. Finding Alduin’s Wall is one of my favorite parts of the game. When Esbern said the wheel turns upon the last Dragonborn, that seemed to get Aravi’s attention! Oh, there’s the wall of katanas that I failed to notice twice. A new blade for Aravi, and an awesome new look for Kharjo! Switching armor in the dark was perfect, I squeaked when the light came back and he was standing there in the Blades armor! Tremendous!!

Just getting started with these. I will watch them all but this latest video happened to catch my eye! I too loved how you managed to cast the magelight spell on Esbern, what a neat little spell! I LOVE Kharjo! It's strange how connected he and Aravi seem, and the way he looks at her Hehe, I tease. It shouldn't take me too long to get up to date, but I am very excited to see what's in store! Love it!!

Like everyone else, my favorite part was when Esbern made that dramatic statement about the Dragonborn, and the camera panned over to Aravi - Loved that scene!
I liked the curved stairs leading up to that wall, but wondered if it will always be that dark after they move their headquarters in (?) or do you use a realism darkness mod like you did in Oblivion?
Delphine is a bit of a control freak, I pictured her walking into one of the player homes and deciding she'll use it as a base and rearanging your furnitue to suit her or something.
I agree with SR on this, the next quest said "Throat of the World" - meaning Bossy the Cow Delphine is probably about to start demanding Aravi kill on command like an unpaid hit man. What's the deal with the Blades in Skyrim? Esbern hiding in fear, Delphine...'nuff said.
In my game when I do the main quest...she's going down unless she's essential. A little bump off the Throat of the World might just do the trick.
Awesome Vid, I'm so glad you took the time to re-upload it !!

@SubRosa: It’s definitely before. You’ll see it when it happens. Thanks SubRosa! @Grits: Tagging people with Mage Light is my favorite thing to do with it. The first time I played, I completely missed that whole room! Glad you liked Kharjo’s armor change. Thanks Grits! @Acadian: Esbern’s clearly the academic of the bunch. I think you’ll like this next trip to see the Greybeards. First Aravi sees what that dog wanted however. The light spells are really neat, your description is perfect. Thanks Acadian! @Andrea: Welcome! Remember, if you’d like me to summarize the previous events, just let me know. You might be right with Kharjo, those two are close friends. It wouldn’t surprise me if it developed into more. Thanks Andrea! @mALX: I wanted to show more of Aravi, and when Esbern started talking about the dragon born, it was a perfect opportunity. The place gets lit up a bit after Esbern and Delphine have been there for a while. Delphine was definitely getting on Aravi’s nerves. Thanks mALX! ###################### Aravi finds that Clavicus Vile’s shrine lies deep within a cave.TIME: 8:46 When she reaches the shrine, she finds Barbas already there.TIME: 6:28

I was freaked out when I saw it was vampires Aravi was fighting here - was not expecting that! Ew, Aravi decapitated one vampire and its head rolled down the hill, urk. Very scary vid, these vampires make odd voices when they die - very frightening, GAAAAH! Then the voice watching Aravi's progresss - I'm not sure if I'll sleep well tonight from this vid !!! GAAAAH !!!
The first vid had a manly voice following Aravi's progress - I thought it was Clavicus Vile's voice! Then you get into Clavicus Viles shrine and his voice is all high-pitched and cockney accented !!! GAAAAH! That I never pictured, lol.
This is some freaky quest !!! Urk, I am so glad you are showing it, if I got caught up in this and didn't know what was coming it would freak me out!
AWESOME VIDS !!!! Totally messed up my sleep for days at least, ROFL !!!

Was that a group of Stormcloaks who acted threatening on the road? I love their cloaks! Ugh, vampires. Very nice sneak attack! Dual katanas, yay!! And a decapitation with vampire blood everywhere! Poor Aravi. Aravi’s sneak attacking was fun to watch, and then Kharjo jumped in with his shield against the orc thrall and showed why he’s awesome! Ugh, and a spider in the shrine. These daedra lords have the nicest places. It must have been a little unnerving to enter a chamber that a vampire just fled crying for mercy. Oh no, Meridia’s Beacon! That was a nice WTF look around from Aravi. Three voices in her head in one day, argh!! These videos had a great sense of uncertainty. I can’t see Aravi seeking out a daedric prince on her own, but now two of them have chosen her for their craziness! The unexpected consequence of being recognized as Dovahkiin? No wonder she was reluctant when folks started calling her that!

Like Grits, I am wondering if those were Stormcloaks on the road at the beginning. None of my characters have ever had a Stormcloak draw a weapon on them before. Has Aravi joined the Imperial Legion? Or is she wearing any legion gear perhaps?
Oh noes! Not vampires again. I am shaking my head along with Aravi. This cannot be good.
Whoa, Aravi slit that Vamp Fledgling's throat like spring chicken's!
Very clever how Aravi sneaked up close to that Vampire mage, by letting Kharjo distract them. Decapitation!
Aravi's sneak must be pretty high by now. No one ever notices her.
Sounds like Barbas is doing a number on the vampires up ahead of Aravi, where the statue is. Yep, there he is.
Meridia's Beacon is in Haemar's Shame? I had no idea. I've been there nearly half-a dozen times, and never found it. My guess is you have to be high enough level for it to be there, since I know Meridia's quest has a minimum level. Oh, I just looked it up. It is a random spawn in boss chests.

Yeaaah! These episodes are super cool! I felt myself go tense at the beggining with the stormcloak(?) guys readying to attack Aravi! But I'm glad to see Aravi simply warned them rather than attacked them What a creepy cave! Aravi is so super skilled with her sneakiness It's ever so exciting to watch! your heart pounds, you're face draws to the screen wondering whether her sneak will be successful then BAM! Assasination goodness! I agree with SubRosa, using Kharjo to distract the Vampire was GENIUS! I don't like Barbas. Yes he might be helpful and able to take care of himself when it comes to a bunch of vamps, but he annoys me. He's too cocky. Great watch !

@Acadian: Yep, Vampires again. I loved how she took advantage of catching her prey unaware and finished them quickly. Clavie… Horrible voice. Definitely. Barbas’ at least fits the scruffy dog. It wasn’t a no to Meridia… just too much Daedra in such a short time. Thanks Acadian! @mALX: Sorry! Aravi wasn’t expecting vampires either. Those weird voices you heard were undead I think. The vampires were raising zombies. Aravi always goes for the ones that have summons so she doesn’t have to fight the summon. There wasn’t anybody following Aravi’s progress. Hope it didn’t totally mess with your sleep! Thanks mALX! @Grits: Those were indeed Stormcloaks. I like the cloaks too. Aravi wears one too on occasion. Dual kantanas! Kharjo is perfect for Aravi! Has decent sneak, and also tough enough to take the brunt of the attack and let Aravi get where she needs to be to deliver her deadly strike. You are absolutely right about Aravi not seeking the Daedra out. Maybe it is part of being the Dragonborn. Thanks Grits! @SubRosa: Yep, they were Stormcloaks. Aravi hasn’t joined any sides. I’m not sure why they draw weapons on her. I don’t think the Legion patrols draw on her, but I’ll have to confirm that when I see them again. Anyways, Aravi has no desire to fight a civil war. It’s kind of too bad Aravi found Kharjo right away, I didn’t have a chance to really try anyone else. Kharjo is just perfect for what she needs and she won’t be dismissing him anytime soon. Aravi’s sneak is alright, but she casts Muffle a lot in dungeons to further quiet herself. I was annoyed that Meridia’s beacon was in that chest. I’m much happier knowing that was chance. Thanks SubRosa! @Andrea: Thank you so much! Yes they were Stormcloaks. Another one of my characters would have attacked those Stormcloaks for drawing steel, but Aravi’s much more cautious. If she doesn’t have to fight, she won’t. She generally won’t fight unless there is a purpose or to defend herself or others. Aravi’s been getting a lot better at sneaking around. Kharjo has his role to fill. He’s fairly sneaky himself, but his main role is just what you saw, take the attention while Aravi gets in close. Thank you Andrea! ##################### Aravi makes the climb to High Hrothgar again after a brief stop in Riverwood. TIME: 9:42
